Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Brand

Hello everyone, this week we're sharing our favorite brand. It's rather difficult to choose a favorite brand...if I had to pick a top 5, I think that might be easier. For this choice, I based my decision off of the brand I own the most and that is Sinful Colors. I own 130 bottles of Sinful polishes.

If I wasn't basing my decision off of quantity, I'd still choose have Sinful in my top 5 because of how affordable the polish is and the wide variety of colors. I don't always have the polish budget that I would prefer so I like that Sinful Colors comes out with new collections and colors that are on trend. Today I am wearing Sinful Shine Man Hunt with Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty.


My other top favorite is China Glaze. I have a hunch of what a few of my Twinisies will say their favorite brand is; I can't wait to see if I am right.

Twinsie Tuesday: Nail Polish Collection

Hello everyone. I've been looking forward to this post for awhile but it's not going to turn out how I wanted it to be. This week the Twinsies are sharing our nail polish collection.

The majority of my collection has been wrapped up in paper and plastic since December. That makes me so sad because I want to organize my collection but can't do so at the moment until we move to our new place next month. So today I won't go into details about my collection but will share two pictures of how I move my collection.

 The first picture is polish I left with my "sister-in-law" when we moved to Florida in June of last year. The picture is before and after I opened them. It honestly felt like Christmas unwrapping them all. Would it be silly for me to say I missed them? I was going to have her ship them to me once I was settled but things didn't go as planned. Which is why in the second picture (below) all my polishes are wrapped, packed in tight burritos and stuffed in bags to move back to the Midwest.

While in Florida, I wrote every polish (and swatched) in a notebook sorted by brand. When I packed them up, I sorted them by brand and wrote numbers on each bag. So if I'm looking for China Glaze For Audrey, I check my notebook which tells me what bag to look in. If I have to pack up my polish again like this I think I may have to take extra time and write each name on the individual "burrito".

Now to throw in some numbers. Altogether I think I have about 350 polishes. I shipped (through a moving company) 30 bags from Florida, 26 small ones and 4 large ones. None of my polishes arrived broken and that was my biggest fear. Well that and losing all of them. I bought 20 polishes in the car with me. Can you believe my boyfriend told me I could only choose 10? I had about 70 polishes left at my "SIL's" house. I think I have about 20 random polishes in storage. I can't wait to get them completely organized. I have an idea of how I want to organize them but I'm sure I'll get some great ideas from my Twinsies. Be sure to check out the other Twinsies' collections.

Twinsie Tuesday: Valentine's Day Inspired Manicure

Hey everyone, welcome to another Twinsie Tuesday! This week our theme is inspired by Valentine's Day. I love hearts but I don't use them in my nail art year round because I want to "save" the idea for Valentine's day. Now when it's time, I don't know what to do. So when someone like me can't make up her mind...do skittles!


Be sure to check out everyone else's Valentines inspired manicures!
